The relentless brutality of some members of the GPF
Dear Editor,
As I continue to read with utter disgust and a feeling of lost societal virtue, I can’t help but to lament on the relentless brutality of some members of the Guyana Police Force (GPF) against ‘ordinary’ citizens and the lack of intuitive-justice on the part of our senior law enforcers (magistrates, JPs, human rights activists and persons of that ilk, to put an end to this epidemic of crime.
Mr. Editor, as a past victim, I know exactly how Messrs Asif Mohamed and Marvin Liverpool (Kaieteur News/Sun/Jan/16/2011-pg12. Review security cameras at Kitty Police Station) must be feeling after been put on remand with a lost hope of ever getting any justice for the atrocities committed against them.
To be frank Mr. Editor, the ethos of our society today is that if one is a part of the law-enforcement clique, be it a police officer, magistrate or anyone of such nature. One is automatically immune to prosecution/persecution from a member of that fraternity, thus one cannot be impartial or effective in defending persons of lower echelons of power (especially if the defendant cannot afford an attorney) such as Messrs Asif, Marvin and myself, who often befall these unfortunate circumstances.
There is indeed a thin line between humans and wild animals and I’m seriously contemplating taking up the profession of a lawman or a magistrate to help restore our distinguish places on this earth.
